This is an interesting turn of events, but not wholly unanticipated. I've been predicting Spyder's death for a long time. Didn't see KEE taking them, though. It'll be interesting to see how it all works out. I have to say though, of all the companies to start monopolizing everything, KEE is far from the worst.

What happened to Lou Martin? He was a very helpful voice when the Hammer7 and MR5 came around, but has not been around in a while. Was that a part of the transition and is he still on board? He was good to MCB and it would be a good idea to keep him around and engaged with customers.

Agreed,part of the reason I bought my Hammer 7 was his posts&remarks
It's unusually to hear from a company rep(?) directly on forums and pms
I hope Kee continues the Kingman magfed lineup with a few improvements,cheaper mags would be nice
